Gilly offers private sessions for individuals and/or couples to help them move through a recurring issue in their relationship or to address a specific conflict. She helps you move beyond “the story” so the deeper root of the misunderstanding and conflict can be understood and resolved.

The more we invest in “the story” (our side of the conflict), the more “the story” takes over the mind and it becomes almost impossible to find the underlying resolution. Gilly is great at holding a neutral space for you while she skillfully guides you through her process.

Intimate Communication sees conflict as a great opportunity for growth and understanding, both of ourselves and the relationship. Actually it is only through conflict that we grow and develop wisdom, yet none of us wake up in the morning and intentionally go looking for it! Being able to see conflict as an opportunity to get to know Self at a deep level makes any conflict so much easier to bear.

- I Ching

"Difficulties and obstructions throw a man back upon himself. While the inferior man seeks to put the blame on other persons, bewailing his fate, the superior man seeks the error within himself, and through introspection the external obstacles become for him an occasion for inner enrichment and education."

- Albert Einstein

"The human spirit is a sacred gift, the rational mind its faithful servant. We have thrown away the gift and become enslaved by the servant."

HeartTalk helps us find the gift again and understand the conditioning of the servant.

When we speak from the heart it fosters intimacy, deepens our level of self-honesty, and improves communication so that our relationship with self and others can flourish.

However, to speak our truth we first need to feel safe. The problem is that since childhood many of us have been taught to not express our needs, in essence we have been taught to lie, or at the very least withhold our truth to be safe. web services We have been habitually lying to ourselves to please others, to feel safe, or to fit in, so that we no longer know how to communicate honestly with others or ourselves.

Speaking from the heart means undoing this patterning, listening inside to see what’s going on, and starting to improve our relationships from the inside out. In fact our health and the health of our relationships depend on it.

Authentic communication includes what we say to ourselves with our thoughts and our own self talk, as well as the quality of what and how we communicate with another. Inauthentic communication leads to distortions on many levels.

Learning to speak our truth, to speak from the heart is a win win for everyone.

The Thinking Mind is a curious creature that likes to deceive, invest in its story and be in control. It is fiercely protective and is extremely sensitive to criticism. So it is vital that we come to understand it better and the way it influences us. To learn how to work with it and bring it into alignment with our heart and spirit.

Emotions are just energy in motion, or at least they are meant to be. They are designed to flow from one to the other and they balance each other with a propensity to move us towards joy, our most natural state. They are intimately linked into our primary drive towards pleasure and away from pain. We are wired for pleasure, so why is it that we experience so much pain?

The Thinking Mind holds the heart hostage and is threatened by our emotions and feelings. It is terrified because it cannot control them. However, if we can use the Thinking Mind in a creative way and put it in charge of awareness, then the Thinking Mind can start to work with and for us. Let us look at the benefits of using language and awareness versus language and justification.
